Arizona's governor has told two school districts that requiring unvaccinated students exposed to Covid-19 to quarantine is against state law. Gov. Doug Ducey's education adviser sent a letter to thedistricts stating the mandatory quarantine practice is contrary to state law because Arizona does not require students to be vaccinated or wear a face covering to attend school. Ducey's office sent the letter and tweeted it, after the Catalina Foothills Unified School District No. 16 of Pima County and the Peoria Unified School District No. 11 of Maricopa County sent out guidance to parents ahead of the school year. "The policy must be rescinded immediately," Ducey's education adviser Kaitlin Harrier wrote to the two school districts. The letter has stoked tensions at a time when students and teachers are preparing to return back to school amid rising Covid-19 case numbers and concerns by some in the state that Ducey is turning return to school policies into a political football. Lawyers hired by the two districts responded by saying the schools are in "full compliance" with the law and do not require vaccines or face coverings. And with regard to quarantine measures for unvaccinated students, the districts are following state health and federal CDC guidelines when it comes to quarantining after Covid-19 exposure.

The Arizona Department of Education's State Superintendent and the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) both blasted the letter issued by Ducey's administration. "A quarantine period for exposed, unvaccinated individuals is one of the only tools left to maintain a safe in-person learning environment," Arizona State schools Superintendent Kathy Hoffman said in a statement to CNN. "Schools have a responsibility to ensure that our young, unvaccinated students are not needlessly exposed to COVID-19 or any other illness. I applaud public school districts and charters for following the guidance of public health officials to ensure student and staff safety this upcoming school year. The ASBA declared Ducey's directive as "nonsensical" and said it "is in direct conflict with the guidance of his own department of health services, and places students at risk for political gain."

Republicans want people to be hurt or die so Biden and the Democrats look bad. They want want the economy to stay bad for the same reason. Yet people still vote for them. They're also complicit in all of it, not that they care because they're awful people.

Schools should ignore this and do it anyway.
